I haven't messed with my sliders yet but I saw a pic with a INT slider. I may actually adjust that one because its like a INT fest some of the games.

I have to agree. I think AP is where it's at. Even at default I'm getting pretty good results in most areas. Two areas of concern are passing (human) and the CPU running game. It seemes impossible not to get sacked in this game. I started out playing 5min. quarters and Brady was sacked 8 times in the first half. There really is no time for players to even run deep routes. The only passes I do complete are quick slants and crosses. My question is this, do I up the blocking? I figured if I upped the blocking I may get out of control results on the running game.

A couple of adjustments I've made already:

Lowered the interception slider. I played 5 games and waaaaay too many picks
Lowered the fumble slider

All-Pro is difficult, but fair to me. I'm not that good yet, so I can't say if any sliders need to be adjusted or not.

Exactly, the controls have been really hard to grasp for me.

Remember when adjusting the INT slider: Don't make it so you don't pay the price for throwing into double and triple coverage...

With INT, Fumble and Injury, do these things occur more often when you move the slider to the right? I know that it is likely this way but can anyone confirm that they have tried it and this is the effect?

I think you are holding the ball too long. I have been sacked once in two games (8mins all-pro default). I agree that there are alot of picks but I can usually say I read the play wrong. If you want to go deep, lob the ball. The WR will run under it and make sure its single coverage - watch the safety. If you throw a bullet it will likely get picked but the lob normally goes over the DB's shoulder. I think the fumble slider should go up. If your getting alot of fumbles you may be juking too much. The CPU rarely fumbles on default. Just my opinion from my experience.
